FAQ’s

What textures do you use?
I use various textures, but the people on Tumblr who I literally cry with happiness when something new is posted are these beautiful guys:
slayground
planets-bend-between-us
-redux
wicked-fate
fuckbees
I owe these people every compliment I get, because without them I would totally be useless at Photoshop.

Will you post more tutorials?
Tutorials take a lot of time to make, and bringing myself to make one takes a lot of effort. I love helping people out and giving people a push, but Photoshop is meant for experimentation and that way you like things, not me. Who want’s to have ~bishams’ style? Surely you want your own mark, your own identity on Tumblr. Experiment guys! It’s always fun :P

What does “bishams” mean?
“bishams” is a word fabricated from one of my favourite quotes from Fringe:

“In fact, I think we’re gonna have several. Two, maybe three. Little tribe of Bishops.”

And I’m obviously a Peter Bishop and Olivia Dunham shipper.  So that’s where it came from!
As for my previous and LJ name - summerdisregard - that’s from one of my favourite Michael Jackson’s lyrics:
“A summer’s disregard” (Man in the Mirror)

What program do you use to make your graphics?
I currently use Photoshop CS5 :)

Do you take requests?
I do indeed :) Just drop it in my ask and I’ll get round to doing it as soon as I can.

Can I be the _____ to your ____?
Only certain people are like that to me. I don’t want to throw the phrase around like it doesn’t mean much (like timothy-/boris- being the Doctor to my Rose, because she genuinely is), but by all means suggest it in my ask and I’ll consider it! :P

Will you check out my blog/promote me?
Of course! Tumblr isn’t a competition, promotion to me is like a way of finding new people to interact with and squee over tv shows and fandoms.

Can you post your PSDs?
Like I say, I like a sense of identity on Tumblr. If you want to make me happy, all you need to tell me is that my art is distinguishable and unique (which it most probably isn’t but I try). PSDs will only show you how I do things, you need to figure out how you do things.

You never use your LJ anymore, why do you still keep it?
My LJ is where all my friends are. It’s true that I don’t use it as much as I used to, blame Tumblr for that, but I still pop over to my flist every now and then to catch up with people. I can’t let LJ go, it showed me how to live in the world of the internet.
